Develop the Young Mathematician’s Mind Tony Compton sums it all up on the blackboard during math class. Seventh graders display their knowledge of multiplication while their fellow students and Mr. Percifield examine their work. As Miss Amrhein explains a problem, some of the class watches closely, while others seem distracted. n

Logarithms, Theorems, Construction All students at Hauser are given the opportunity to increase their knowledge of the mysteries of math. Although not all mathematical principles can be clearly understood, such as one common argument, Why does it have to be done that way? , teachers in the Math Department do their best to clarify its usefulness. One of the teachers, new to the Math Department Miss Lois Amrhein instructs students in the concepts of Algebra II, Geometry. Senior Math, Business Math, and Jr. High Math, 8D. Mr. Tim Cooper has classes in General Math and Algebra I. Teaching in the Jr. High for the first time is Mr. Mike Percifield, teaching math for 7C, 8A, 7B, and 8B students. Another new teacher is Miss Jana Fleenor, who teaches 7A, 7D, and 8C Math. Wondering what letters have to do with mathematical problems, Kevin Lashley sets out to prove the equation. Working as quickly as possible, Mary Epperson hurries to finish her Algebra II assignment before class is over. 10

Experiments and Dissections Enable Hauser Junior High science students, taught by Mr. Leo Stevens, studied various aspects of the earth sciences. While studying geology, the study of rocks and fossils, students prepared and exhibited their rock collections. Leaf collections were also made during the study of botany. With the help of the science club, Mr. Stevens had charge of the annual science fair. All junior high and biology students were required to enter a project. Biology, instructed by Mr. Lee Essex, was eagerly learned by freshmen. They made collections of insects and flowers, and studied animal anatomy by means of dissection. Chemistry and Physics were both taught by Mr. Nicholas Cooksey. Chemistry students studied the fundamentals of matter and how elements interact to form compounds, while physics dealt with matter and energy and their transformations. Is Jay Todd Romlnger learning the art of snake charming? No, Mr. Essex is just teaching him the correct way to handle a snake. Rob Thayer records the data he compiled In his experiment of determining the acceleration of an object down an inclined plane. Threading a piece of twine through a glass tube.
